An emotional multi-sensorial journey to the world of the Llobregat colonies

The Torre de l’Amo in Viladomiu Nou is a hundred year old building that was planned as the residence of the family that owned the colony (whenever they stayed there) and has been reconditioned as an interpretation centre dedicated to explaining part of the history and heritage of the textile colonies in the Alt Llobregat, built between Berga and Balsareny more than a hundred years ago.

The museographic project has been designed so that one part of the visit can be carried out via sound and lighting programmes and thereby reveal the different rooms on the first floor thanks to Remei, who transports us to the everyday lives of the owners and workers in the summer of 1910 via a multi-sensorial resource that's totally respectful to the building containing it. In the attic we get to know the revolt of the Tragic Week in central Catalonia, through an audiovisual.
